NOTE: Children listed by name in Courtney's will: John, Amey, Courtney, Reuben, Ezekiel & William.
Five youngest not listed in the last item in Courtney's will were later shown as follows:

Mary Norman 23

Therefore naming the children of Courtney & Mary Frances as: John, Amey, Courtney Reuben, Ezekiel, William, Mary, Milly & Elizabeth.

It is thought that Benjamin died before his father and there lies the reason he is not named in his father's will. Need research to find Benjamin's exact date of death. DB

Occupation: Tobacco planter.
